'.8 Of Scales of or in Logical Subalternation.

In the whole field of human thought and action, so many aggregates as we have occasion to form and to distinguish in the character of genera generalissima, so many are the different scales of logical subalternation.

In the aggregate which has entity for its name, all other imaginable aggregates are comprehended.

Entities are either physical or psychical.

Physical are either real or fictitious.

Psychical again are either real or fictitious; real psychical are either present to sense, perceptive, i.e. impressions; or present to memory, i.e. ideas. Ideas are either single or say concrete, simple or particular - formed without abstraction; or general, i.e. aggregate, formed by abstraction.

Psychical fictitious entities may be distinguished - i.e. the aggregate composed of the entities termed psychical fictitious entities may be divided according to the faculties to which they respectively bear relation.
